The Saga

SagaZone,a free social website shut down over racist,homophobic and offensive comments.
A social website considered to be a lifeline for elderly people who find comfort in talking to each other over the internet.It closed down because it could not afford the man power to police offensive
comments.
The website released a statement on its website claiming it would shut down the site after its users were posting controversial and offensive content.

let this be a lesson for all of us and live here happily without hurting each others feelings.

Definately something to think about daydream
Hi India,

Pretty sad story of cutting the lifeline of old folks.
At least, CS doesn't have too many political or religious comments on the whole.

Take care.handshake bouquet
but what about the comments which hurt others don`t they count?
I joined that site over a year ago & lasted about two weeks, you would have thought the over 50's would know better but is seems not.moping laugh
Kenangh many a times I too have have wondered about it.
Del, having been on the Saga site myself I can tell you that if CS ever becomes like that you won't be able to post anything, in my short time there I noticed a lot of the members hated Facebook, I was intrigued as to the logic behind their hatred so started a thread asking why so many disliked it so much, well you should have seen the comments I got, several said I must be a troll for starting a thread when I hadn't been there a year, several said this was a thread intended to start a fight, confused dunno can you see anything in my thread to do that dunno well to cut a fairly short story even shorter, after about 3 hours of this I decided to leave them to it & cancelled my profile, I checked back a week later & they were still fighting over it, to me it was lesson as to what happens when trouble makers are left to their own devises. doh
Hi India!!!

All we need is love for your neighbor as we love ourselves!
zman, they must have considered you to young to take part of their serious discussions.. well their loss our win I guess
Thank you Z for pointing it to me. I had no idea that it could be that bad.
When people do war about Facebook, it becomes insane.
Well, I find solace in knowing that CS is pretty tame in comparison.
Not perfect, but no place really is. Reading your comment, I can now imagine the Wolf pack mentality in SagaZone. handshake
Del, it was certainly a baptism of fire into the blogging world & as you say CS is a walk in the park in comparison but I think we do have to be mindful that it could happen here & we could lose our blogs as a result. wave
Teddy, yes it was nice being a youngster for a change laugh rolling on the floor laughing laugh
Hi Ed, yes love for everyone including our neighbours
Bit of a shock when you see a group like Saga,basically set up to bring the older generation into the modern world of blogging ,and they shoot themselves in the foot.

You will ALWAYS have someone who wants to drag a site down with their arguments .Some people would cause an argument in an empty room.laugh

As for C.S it's up to all of us to keep the site friendly.
my sentiments Mickey
Hey Z...so you joined us young whipper snappers thenlaugh ....good choice!handshake
Sounds like the SagaZone members are a contentious lot in general, regardless of the subject matter whether political, religious, facebook, or length of membership. roll eyes moping
They should put them on that show "Grumpy old men" laugh
